MARRIAGE IN CHINA.

From the Brooklyn Citizen.

fashioned Chinese love letters in my

written in Chinese. No Chinese nader

never sees his wife until he is welded to
her for life, and sometimes he does not
see her then, for she may refuse to re-
move her veil until three days have
elapsed after the wedding. If he does
not like her he cannot get a divorce, but
be may marry another wife, and then an
other and another, until he has gone
through the blindfold lottery often
enough to get one that suits him. Some

"No; marriage of cousins was never

TOTAL DEPRAVITY.
The Upper Peninsula OF Michigan the
Scene OF Outrageous and Infamous
Traffic in Young Girls.
The Legislature of the State Now Engaged
in Considering a Bill to Stop
the Fearful Evil.

LANSING, MICH, Jan. PA startling
story of depravity and vice was laid before
the house judiciary committee yesterday
by Representative Bartlett Breen of
Menominee. Breen has been investi-
eating for some time stories of
the manner in which young girls
are inveigled from Chicago, Milwaukee,
st. Louis and Canadian cities into the
lumber regions of the upper peninsula. A
revolving state of things has been I'M
earthed. "There is perhaps no other
place in the country" said Mr.. Breer,
"where such state of deprav:ty
exists. In the new settlements
the trade in young girls has come to be
an established business. Advertisements
ana cunning devices are used in coaxtng
working girls from their homes. The
girls are kept in rough board shanties or
tents. There are dozen or more IN each
place. A system of fines is in
vogue bywhich the poor wretches are kept
constantly in debt to the overseer. If a
girl does not get man to drink she is
fined, if she does not get him to dance she
is fined. Dogs are kept to guard against
the girls running away. In one case,
which has been fully Investigated,
girl escaped after being shot
in the leg and took refuge in a swamp.
The dogs were let loose on her trail and a
gang of overseers started after her. She
slept in the swamp one night but was
finally hunted down and taken back to her
den. l personally investigated the way
in which a Chicago girl of undOubted
responsibility was kidnapped. She was
decoyed from an honorable life by an adj
vertisement offering large wages in q
boarding house. When she had nearly
reached her destination she for the
first time learned the horrible place
she was going to, and sought
to turn back, but was compelled by force
to 90 on" In order to stop the inhuman
traffic representative Breen and Repre-
sentative Thompson of Delta are urging
two measures. In these efforts they are
seconded by Circuit Judge Grant of
Houghton and by public opinion in the
upper peninsula.

MRS. EMMONS' CASE.
The Ladies Sympathize With the Defendant
So strongly They Are Barred.

The Ladies SympathiZe With the Defendant
SO Strongly They Are Barred.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-By order OF
from the courtroom where the Emmons
lunacy trial is in progress. On many
occasions during the progress of the
case women present have INDUCED in
such noisy manifestations of SYM
pathy with Mrs. Emmons' cause
as to call forth yesterday 8 very
positive protc st from the opposing coun-
sci, the Justice of which the marshal rec
ognized by issuing an order excluding
women from the room.
Soon after Lawyer Kent arrived this
morning he was handed a note which read
as follows:
here who want to be admitted to the
courtroom and promise to remain quiet
during the proceedings. We appeal to
you to ask the marshal to admit US, fully
approaching the patience and gallantry
which you have shown under very trying
circumstances.
(Signed) "WoMEN WHO ARE CURIOUS"
The proceedings opened, however, with
out any appeal being made to the marshal
on behalf of the gentle sex. The only
woman in the court was Mrs. Decormis.
Mrs. Emmons kept her compact with her
attorney and did not appear to-day.
DIR. Lincoln was recalled to the stand
and said he thought Mrs. Emmous hsd
an unusual capacity for managing her af-
fairs.
DIP. Y. Garrett of this city was next
called. He did not consider Mrs. En-
mons an insane woman.
DR.. j. Ford Thompson testified that he
was asked by DR.. Lincoln to see Mrs.
Emmons few weeks ago to examine her
mental condition. He had an Interesting
conversation with her. He was impressed
with the fact that she was very intelli-
gent woman. He did not think her in
sane.
The defense announced that they had
but one more witness to examine and
court adjourned until Monday.

"To Chinese lady?''
"No; to an American. l came to this
country when a boy eleven years old.
Though l was 5000 miles from China, nv
mother betrothed me to little Chinese
girl had never seen. My mother used
to write to me how small her feet were
and how pretty she was, and what beau
tiful cat-like nose she had. When l was
twenty years old mother sent me letter
saying l was old enough to get married,
and must come back to China and marry
the girl"
"What did you think about it,"
az thought 1 was old enough, and so
fell heels over cue in love with an Ameri-
can girl in Nevada, and married her. We
had our pictures taken, and sent one to
my mother, together with an account of
the wedding, which l translated from an
American newspaper into Chinese"
"What bappened?"
1.-THE next thing knew my uncle and
four cousins came on 10 the United States
and had me arrested for bigamy. l was
taken before court and tried. NV uncle
went on the stand and swore that had
wife in China"
"Whst did you do them"
81 thought l was in q box, as you
Americans say. The Judge asked the
witnesses how old l was when left
Chins. They replied that my mother had
picked her out Tor me and that, in Chi
nese law, WAS the same as marriage. The
judge said they didn't have any Chinese
statutes in this country, and nv uncle
innocently replied that he would send
to China for some. Everybody in
the court laughed, and as 1 lived in the
town ever since came tc America, all
knew that had left China little boy, Sc
the jury acquitted me. My uncle told The
Judge that he would be beheaded when
ne went back to China, which was a
monstrous flo with which he intended to
scare the Judge. l have never been back
to China, and suppose the little girl
whom l never SAW is grass-widoW.

They Were All Stars.
PIttsburg Commercial Gazette

Plttsburg COMMERCIAL GaZette.
A pleasant surprise was accorded the
young gentlemen of the Minerva Literary
Society at the regular meeting at the So
ciety rooms in the Moorehead building,
Grant street, last evening. The young
ladies had been secretly rehearsing Lit
tie Barefoot, aud when the members of
the society appeared at the rooms the
gentlemen were surprised to find them
converted into an amateur theater. The
male members were directed to take seats
among other guests invited. and for the
balance of the evening were simply spec
tatorS.
There were distributed neatly written
programmes, each of which contained the
regulation advertisements, except that
the "ads' were happy hits on the young
men. The performance was successfully
completed, though not without "theGter
fire." The curtains ignited from q gas
let, but the fire was quickly eXtinguished.
The programmes gave only the names of
star performers, but we take the liberty
of anDexing the real name of the perform
er in the third column:
Little Barefoot-Maggie Mitchell, Miss \. Brady
william Peace-AIr. Ed Booth. .Miss G. Kane
Jemmy-Lawrence Barrett. Miss Mcheever
Hempfarmer-Fred Ward. Miss Belle Murphy
Farmer Peace-Henry living Miss B. Murphy
krippan ensor-Louis James, Miss Jennie Brady
Rose-Mary Anderson Miss Jennie Brady
Mrs Hempfarmer-M Mather. Miss Mckeever
Mrs Peace-Elen Terry Miss Rose Caulfeld
The young ladies are all amateurs of
some note and had carefully studied their
parts, as was evidenced by the numerous
outourts of applause from the audience.
The programme showed that the stage
manager was Grover Cleveland and the
musical director Theodore Thomas.
What the music was did not appear.

SAN ANTONIO SHOOTING.
An fray in a Store in Which the Three
Participants are Wounded, One Fatally.

An ARRAY in a Store in Which the Three
Participants arc Wounded, One Fatally.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan. 2l.-The
deadly six-shooter got in its bloody work
here again this afternoons in which Walter
Nicholson, a merchant, was shot in the
liver and dangerously wounded, Abe
Nicholson in the shoulder, end Robert
! Wynne in the fleshy part of the leg
About dozen shots were fired between
the three parties. A previous dispute
had taken place between Walter Nichol-
son and Wynne over very trifing affair,
in which bad language was used but no
wee pons This was several days ago.
The bad blood had been brewing ever
since, until this afternoon Wynne went to
the store of Nicholson, armed
and determined to kill him.
He began shooting almost as
soon as he had entered
the house. After his brother was
down, having fired all the cart:
ridges from his pistol, Abe Mich
olson took hand with his pistol and was
in turn fired on By Wynne. The latter
emptied his pistol and called out to Mich
olson: "You can murder me if you want
to now, for am not armed" Nicholson
put up his pistol and presently al were
arrested except Walter Nicholson, who is
at home expected to die momentariIy.
The general sentiment, so far as your
correspondent is able to learn, is that the
NicholSons acted solely IN self-defense,
protecting themselves in their own house.
